Chapala Café — Restaurant in Eureka

Best Mexican restaurant in town. I've been going to this place for years.

The food is everything you'd expect for a restaurant. It tastes amazing, there's plenty of flavor, there's plenty of food, and there are plenty of options when it comes to decision making.

The service is always amazing. The waiter/waitress constantly checks in but is not overly helpful, always on top of drink refills, very quick when we need something, and everyone is extremely friendly and welcoming.

The atmosphere is spot on. The music is great, sometimes they'll have live bands host, the music and lighting is comfortable and NOT over-bearing, and the seating is comfortable and spacious.

One of my favorite places to go when I can't decide where I want to celebrate an occasion, and will always be my go to for...

I've been eating at Chapala for almost 20 years. I lived for many years in San Diego and have eaten the best Mexican food, so I'd rate the food at Chapala as usually quite tasty, though sometimes a bit uneven in quality. The salsa is delicious, and my favorite dishes are the flautas and the carne asada soft tacos. The margaritas are delicioso.

It's sure not the end of the world, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the...

I don't know how this place could possibly have received such high reviews. I came by and ordered 3 tacos a la carte one pollo and 2 al pastor. The bill came to over 10 bucks for 3 regular sized tacos but I was hungry. After a short wait I received my order and headed outside to enjoy, I though. The 3 tacos were the worst I can ever recall eating. All around low quality. Tortilla, meat, you name it. Meat was flavorless and seemed over cooked, tortillas were chewy and also flavorless. No lime for the tacos. They were dry and unappetizing, but like I said earlier, I was hungry. So I used their La Victoria grade salsa, that came with he cold tortilla chips to choke down these abominations of Mexican cuisine. You'd be better off at Taco Bell and I don't say...
